Great alternative to Apple, 2012-08-22By abwong

This kit came right away as promised by the store and installed very easily into my 17" Macbook Pro (early 2009). System came right up on reboot and bingo! I was running with 8G.

I ordered this kit because I upgraded to OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) and was watching my memory usage. I was consistently up at 75% of the old 4G setup. With 8G, I do notice some minor improvements, especially when switching between applications.

Cannot beat the price for this upgrade. The Apple store wants $200. If you’ve only got 4G in your machine and it’s not a sealed box like the Air’s, the small investment can prolong the life of your machine.

As an afterthought, I had been considering getting a Macbook Air, and if I do, I’d certainly max it out at 8G since you cannot upgrade the RAM yourself (without violating warranties).
